Looking at and approach each situation and day with an optimistic view
The environment on my team is positive but other areas are run by managers with authoritarian leadership that causes competent workers to leave the company. The company has been a lot better with this in the past couple years by getting rid of authoritarian managers who impeded progress.
My direct manager is the best part of my job. I really try not to interact beyond work topics with fellow employees and other managers.

No one takes notes or sends meeting minutes or documents who's committed to doing what. There is zero follow up and subsequent meetings rehash was already discussed and decided. The project management at the company is a joke. Projects move at a snail's pace because there's no project organization.
My direct team is amazingly supportive, but we are outliers to the company. Without them, I would have left 4 years ago
Most are there to work and interpersonal relationships are very professional.
